Aren't they beautiful!

I just wish something like that would show up in UK shops.
Actually a shop in Darlington had some cobitis striata in. I was going to go and get some but they had non left. :?
I really want some cobitis or another type of Korean loaches!

Yeah! Loads of lovely cobitis sp's out there but we will never see these over here (export ban). My substitute is keeping the lovely Lepidocephalichthys sp's. Very similar in appearance.

Yes, they're gorgeous. It's such a shame that we won't get to see those and similar sp. over here. :cry:
